- Native Americans are the indigenous people and were already in the United States.

- African Americans were hoarded to Americaon spaceships, against their own free will.

- Mexicans inhabited the West and Southwestern parts of the Unites States prior to the American expansion into the West.

Based upon the definition of the word "immigrant", how did either of these groups "Immigrate" to the United States? And why do people continue to make the false canned statement that "Every American is an immigrant"?

Elizabath Warren claims she's not totally immigrant.

Let's make her take a bath.

The past is the past.
Different time, different circumstances, different attitudes.
Can't go back and change things to fit the modern narrative.
Sure mistakes were made, but nothing we can do now can change the past.
Quit harping on it and trying to use it as a defense.

If you came to the US illegally, snuck across the border, overstayed your visa, or did anything to violate CURRENT immigration laws, you are an ILLEGAL ALIEN.

My family came across the ocean, did it right, and in many cases it took years to become a US citizen.

I have absolutely no pity or mercy for people trying to get around the system.

If you are here illegally, you are here illegally.
Suck it up.
You took your chances and a few bleeding hearts aren't going to save you.

Otherwise, things wouldn't be so tough for law breakng illegal aliens.
I am not going to whine and cry and say you got the short end of the deal.

Neither are a whole lot of other people that went through the same thing, or are legal citizens.

Sounds tough, but that's reality.

You played your hand, and a bunch of you are now losing.
That's the game.

Protest all you want, but in reality, everybody else in America is cheering on ICE, because finally they are getting the directive to do their jobs the way they are supposed to do them, and I hope they do them well.

WATCH THIS GENESIS (PHIL COLLINS) YOU TUBE VIDEO AND LAUGH.

"Across the border, lays the promised land. Where everything comes easy. You just hold out your hand."

The so-called native American's ancestors migrated here from over the Bering Strait.


Mexicans are half Ameridian (so-called native Americans) and Spanish. The Spanish migrated here from Europe. In short all of our ancestors migrated to this continent but those born here aren't immigrants. Most Americans aren't immigrants they are native born citizens.

To conservatives, wiping out the native peoples of the US and immigrating "legally" based on laws they made for themselves is totally okay. But if a nonwhite immigrant overstays their work visa in 2017, they think it's super terrible.

I just love comparing life 400 years ago to today.

I'm not saying we should have unrestricted immigration.

Regardless of what you feel our immigration policy should be, I don't think it's necessary to have a knee jerk reaction to illegal immigrants, or to denigrate these people who are just seeking a better life.

The media and the left is trying to change the subject.

The subject used to be "illegal immigrants". They want to change it to "immigrants".

"Global Warming" became "climate change".
"Terrorism" became "man caused disasters"
